Danke für dieses tolle Video! Als ehemaliger Flugbegleiter der Lufthansa von 1982 - 2015 kenne ich auch diesen Anflug und Landung noch sehr, sehr gut. Obwohl der alte Flughafen Kai-Tak natürlich weitaus spektakulärer war, und zu seiner Zeit unsere Flüge nach Hong Kong meist mit einigen Tagen frei vor Ort waren, bevor es an einem Tag von Hong Kong nach Osaka und zurück ging, schätzte ich auch den neuen Flughafen. Kann mich noch gut erinnern, wir kamen um die Mittagszeit im Hotel an, hatten dann den nächsten Tag frei, und am 4. Tag ging es dann mittags als Tagesflug wieder zurück nach Frankfurt. Ich denke gern an die Zeit zurück.
one thing i love is the way tht the plane is shiney... dunno why but planes neva seem to get dirty lol, jst wen u burst through the clouds and the sun reflects of the engine cases and the wings, it jst seems so relaxing
@momarytube The slats (on the leading edge of the wings) are controlled with the flap lever. They automatically retract on the 747-400 when reverse thrust is used to avoid damaging them. The ailerons are controlled with the flight yoke, left to bank left, right to bank right. The trim lever allows the pilot to trim the elevators for take-off and in-flight.
@1037pm Negative, slats and speed brakes are two different surfaces, slats allow the wing to operate at higher AoA providing more lift. Speedbrakes slow you down. All control surfaces create drag when operated, slowing you down somewhat.
Slats retract to aid with the spoilers. This is so the weight transfers more effeciently from the wings to the wheels for maximum wheel friction and prevent hydroplaning. The slats are faster to retract than the flaps, so only slats retract.
The slats dont produce lift, they keep the airflow from separating. They are retracted to prevent damage while the reversers are deployed. Watch them unfold again once the reversers retract again
That's right!! So you always have to pick and chose your seats and hope that someone buffed up enough to tell you to turn of that camera won't sit next to you.
its not the bird strike. Its only a range of objects on the airport ground. Mechanical movement in the study, it was pre-selected, assuming immobile as a benchmark called the reference object.
@ericnelson91 they don't all come out simultaneously. As the pilot selects a higher and higher flap setting, so too does the slats come out in sequence.
@Vekoma1261 When the Engines open, the Pressure that normaly pushes the Aircraft forward is no going into all directions. So the Aircraft is not longer pushed by the Engines. So the Aircraft can stop faster.
the winglets are always different. the boeing iether has no winglets or ones that just go up, and airbus always have wiglets that go above the wing and below like a triangle
@Trevorpilot123 The cascade doors slide open, the blocker doors extend, engine increases thrust, the thrust is redirected in a 45 degree angle from the front of the engine.
lol the flight crew are asked to take a seat during landing so unless your in those ghey seats where they sit facing you (aka near emergency exit) you can easy do it.
no thats not true. slats or speed brakes are not automatic unless you make them automatic. they dont perform the same function as flaps. flaps adjust the lift of the aircraft and are used for takeoff and landing. slats or speed brakes just create drag to slow the aircraft down. two different things
sag mal Hacki22, mit was für einer Cam hast du das aufgenommen. Ich kenne mich da nämlich gar nicht aus, suche aber gerade eine recht günstige mit guter Quali- Muss kein HD sein und diese Qualität finde ich super ausreichend.
Please can somebody ask this question for me...where are the control of the slats and the ailerons. and also every time i look at a cockpit, there is a trim button on the left side of the throttles, what does it control... Can somebody please explain
Danke für dieses tolle Video!

What a great video! So many details! The huge wingflex, the slat movement and above all: A GREAT LANDING! Perfect!
Lufthansa is a superb air line especially on long flights. They are one of the best I have ever been with and hope to enjoy again in the future.
one thing i love is the way tht the plane is shiney... dunno why but planes neva seem to get dirty lol, jst wen u burst through the clouds and the sun reflects of the engine cases and the wings, it jst seems so relaxing
Lufthansa is my favorite European Airlines keep up the good work
Beautiful - love all the flap/spoiler whatever movement you have captured.
what a smooth landing! flying into hong kong is scary! you think you're going to hit the water until the last few seconds then the land appears.
3rd best plane video i have seen!!!
5 star!!
Great landing! I love the 747 so much!
been a long time since I've been on a long haul flight. Nice memories!
Cool... That was a pretty good landing :) And very smooth despite the sheer weight of that thing :)
great landing love these vids
good shot of thrust reversers ..
Love the wing-flex
Typical Hong Kong - can't see squat then all of a sudden the runway appears! Great clip, great memories.
i love this airline!!!
THat was actually a quite smooth touch down

dam, that takes forever to slow down, amazing video :)
Super! all the wing landing procceses!
A state of art
Very nice. And excellent camera holding :)
das video ist echt gut gemacht!
Details wie z.B. das ausfahren der Krügerklappen kann man sehr gut erkennen.

Thank you so very much Matthington, i learn something today
coool vid.. it shows the thurst reversals in action...

what a razor sharp video!!!
Nice video and landing. Thanks
That’s excellent
Brilliant landing.
Very well documented!
very nice ad good landing
EXCELLENT FILM!
Awesome video! Thanks!!
Five stars Just awesome
beautiful wing flex!
Estupendo y didáctico vídeo.
uuuu.I love that!!! That was amazing video!!! Thank you for you cooperation:P
That's right!!
So you always have to pick and chose your seats and hope that someone buffed up enough to tell you to turn of that camera won't sit next to you.
Exelente Landing!
its not the bird strike. Its only a range of objects on the airport ground. Mechanical movement in the study, it was pre-selected, assuming immobile as a benchmark called the reference object.
Yep good view of the reverse thrusters
wouu very smooth landing!
ahh...the good old travel day...
looks so real
beautiful
beautiful!
Good landing. Excellents pilots.
nice landing..
IIRC it is an indie control. and yeah i agree VERY pro landing
thats a good landing
ah perfekt, dankeschön :)
Nice video*****
@ericnelson91 they don't all come out simultaneously. As the pilot selects a higher and higher flap setting, so too does the slats come out in sequence.
B747 ftw!
Wow I wonder...
The air outside!
5 stars video , i like it :D
Yeah, 747 wings can flex quite a bit during takeoffs and landings.
how do you get the camera to be so still? awesome video btw
@Vekoma1261

guys, he said scale 1/500, so it should be around 7-9 metres
@Trevorpilot123 The cascade doors slide open, the blocker doors extend, engine increases thrust, the thrust is redirected in a 45 degree angle from the front of the engine.
@Pr3s3ntBoY slat are automatic, they work with the flaps and perform the same function.
@Nudelsuppe33 der hat sie schön vorm aufsetzen nochmall abgefangen :) da geb ich dir recht top top top gerade bei dem wetter respect an den piloten :)
this sis so a perfect video lovely view on the engines and the wing ! is this economy or buisniss
sehr gut gemacht :P
So they retract automatically as you adding more flaps...COOL...
gooooooooooooood! :D
hammer video^^ aber wieso werden die slats eig eingefahren bei schubumkehr?^^
The engines are slowing down on final aproach, and then reverse thrust :)
GE CF6 =] I agree they do look quite similar. But LH only operates the GEs
B747-400 = beautiful machine
Aren't those P&W 4000s? They look a lot like the B767 engines.
lol the flight crew are asked to take a seat during landing so unless your in those ghey seats where they sit facing you (aka near emergency exit) you can easy do it.
do those slats move away when the engine are in reverse because maybe it does mess up the reverse thrust
i love how the turbines open at 2:14
no thats not true.
slats or speed brakes are not automatic unless you make them automatic. they dont perform the same function as flaps.
flaps adjust the lift of the aircraft and are used for takeoff and landing.
slats or speed brakes just create drag to slow the aircraft down. two different things
always cloudy in hong kong :)
yes they do
LUFTHANSA is the best and the only my to fly
Is the air always like that???!?

Kai tak was closed a while ago they have a new airport now
cooooooooooooooooooooooool
i have a question, do the front flaps retract automatically with the reverse thrusters?
i love boeing 747
was this the old hong kong airport or the new one???
@MD114EVER You also, look up thrust reversals.
Please can somebody ask this question for me...where are the control of the slats and the ailerons. and also every time i look at a cockpit, there is a trim button on the left side of the throttles, what does it control...
Can somebody please explain
Why were the SLATS retracted so quickly after landing ?
wait, r u suppose to raise the flaps once u land
this one has a decent approach.
Why does the noise of the engines change at 1:12 onwards?
Was hätte man von Lufthansa auch anderes erwartet ;)
so any debris doesnt damage the slats/reversers etc.
@FallenxriseN I'm off to Hong Kong tonight. Any more tips?.
That would be the old Kai Tak airport. It was destroyed, the new one is much easier to land at.
how did you keep the camera so still?
exellent video could you tell me your seat please???
